A Rural Gentleman's Disappointment Fol.

He was a short man pervaded by a
generally rural air. and wore a derby

"How much for the yeller ones?
Two FOR fve."
"Well. give me one." said the short
man. He passed over three cents, and
selecting a banana began to remove
the skin. The fruit was slightly over
ripe, however. and being exposed a
soft spot on one side gave way and the
edible portion of that banana vanished
into the gutter.
There was an expression of intense
surprise on the purchasers face. he
looked at the empty banana skin in
his hand. and then said to the vcnder:
Il thought you said this was the sea-
son for bernanners?"
$50 it is"
''May be that was a last seasons

The dealer objected. so they COM
promised on another banana for two

The man with a chocolate-drop
derby passed over the pennies, and as
he grasped the second banana, he re.
marked:
